Makeup guru creates the most beautiful Disney-inspired looks with her hijab

Makeup artist Saraswati, also known as Queen of Luna, is extremely talented and what’s so special about her is the way she expertly combines her skill and her culture to create the most awe-inspiring looks.

Self-confessed “Supermom [sic]. ComicGeek. Tolkienite. Lycan. Disnerd. Fannibal. Metalhead and Nyctophile,” the Malaysian beauty guru has more than 60,000 fans on Instagram and it’s not surprising, because her recreations of popular Disney characters are pretty mind-blowing.

They include an image of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, which sees her wearing a bright red hijab (a veil that covers the head and chest, worn by some Muslim women after puberty to signify their personal devotion to God).

This look had special importance for the artist herself as she revealed it reminded her of her childhood.

“Here is the final look for my Alice in Wonderland series,” she wrote. “Spent too many [sic] time on styling the hijab lol oh well. Needed to attach the headband on hijab so. I felt a bit up and down when doing this though, reminded me of my childhood. I used to dress up as Alice almost everyday when I was little. Hmph. #Alice.”

Saraswati’s work is truly mesmerising but, more than that, it’s great to see how she has combined the hijab into her creations to give them special meaning to many women around the globe.
